Publix Extends License of APT’s Test & Learn® Software
Washington, D.C. (PRWEB) June 11, 2015 -- Applied Predictive Technologies (APT) announced today that Publix—one of the ten largest-volume supermarket chains in the United States—has extended its partnership and will continue to license APT’s Test & Learn® software for another five years. Publix, an APT client since 2010, also licenses APT’s Market Basket Analyzer and Network Planner software.
This announcement comes at a time when many food retailers are experimenting with a variety of initiatives, ranging from targeted promotions to in-store restaurants, to draw new and existing customers to their stores.
Maria Brous, Publix Director of Media and Community Relations, said, “In an employee-owned organization as large as Publix, suggestions on which services, products, and innovations we should introduce next come from across the business. APT’s software enables us to quickly evaluate each of these ideas so that we can allocate funds to those that work and scale back the ones that don’t.”
Brous added, “Beyond using Test & Learn software, we have invested in APT’s Network Planner and Market Basket Analyzer software as well. APT’s Market Basket Analyzer puts transaction-level data at our fingertips, enabling us to rapidly generate insights and try new and bolder ideas that enhance the customer experience and strengthen our brand.”
On the relationship, APT SVP Marek Polonski commented, “APT is honored to be serving Publix, and we look forward to continuing to support Publix’s team as they rapidly and rigorously test new ideas to determine whether they produce a real return on investment.”
